A quick adjust ratcheting pocket hole jig is presented. The pocket hole jig has a base with a removable upright connected thereto. A guide assembly is slidably received within the upright. Removable and replaceable side supports are connected to the base by way of a dove tail joint. Removable and replaceable adjustable stops are connected to the base by way of key holes. A clamp assembly is connected to the base having a handle portion and a clamp follower. The clamp follower has a ratcheting mechanism and a compressible plunger assembly. The clamp follower can quickly be adjusted using a button on the clamp follower that disengages the ratcheting member such that it can be quickly adjusted. When the handle is operated, it draws the clamp follower towards the upright and guide assembly compressing the spring loaded plunger assembly thereby quickly and tightly and adjustably holding a workpiece therebetween.

A robotic forming system and method for forming a tapered hole in a workpiece include a housing and a nose extending from the housing. The housing defines an internal chamber. A vacuum gate is in fluid communication with an internal cavity of the nose. A seal is within the nose. A first spindle includes a first operative head. The first spindle is retained within the internal chamber. The first spindle is configured to be moved between a first stowed position within the housing and a first operating position in which the first operative head extends into the nose. The first operative head is configured to form an initial hole within the workpiece. A second spindle includes a second operative head. The second spindle is retained within the internal chamber. The second spindle is configured to be moved between a second stowed position within the housing and a second operating position in which the second operative head extends into the nose. The second operative head is configured to modify the initial hole to form a tapered hole.

A dust suppression system for a jack hammer includes a spraying device that applies a fluid spray to an area surrounding the jack hammer. The spraying device includes a bracket connected to the jack hammer and a nozzle that creates the fluid spray. The system also includes a fluid source and a pump in fluid communication with the fluid source and the spraying device. The pump directs fluid from the fluid source to the spraying device. The bracket directs fluid from the pump and the fluid source to the nozzle.

The present invention provides a machine tool system including a machine tool body and a control device. The machine tool body includes: a cover that covers a machining region; chip expelling mechanisms that are disposed at a plurality of different positions inside the cover, that expel chips generated during processing, and a discharging ability of which is changeable; and a chip information obtaining unit that obtains information related to scattering directions of the chips during the processing. In accordance with the information related to the scattering directions of the chips and obtained by the chip information obtaining unit, the control device controls the discharging ability of one of the chip expelling mechanisms corresponding to a direction in which a largest amount of the chips have scattered so as to be larger than the discharging ability of another of the chip expelling mechanisms.

A processing machine line including multiple processing modules arranged in a width direction and loaded on a base where a machine body is movable in a front-rear direction; an automatic workpiece transfer machine to perform transferring of a workpiece by moving a conveyance robot in front of the base; an external cover to cover the processing module; a front cover to form a conveyance space of the conveyance robot, the front cover being provided with, for each processing module, an upper section cover that is open-and-closable in a lifting up manner, and a lower section cover configuring a cover front surface with the upper section cover; and a chip receiving box to be removable and attachable by being attached between the lower section cover and the base via an installation bracket that is attachable and removable with respect to a top section of the lower section cover.

A drill press is disclosed including a drill press column. A drill press spindle assembly can be mounted to the drill press column. A drill press table can include a table frame secured to the drill press column and a table insert removably received in the table frame. The table frame can be positioned on the support column beneath the drill press spindle assembly, and the table insert can be positionable under the drill press spindle assembly when the table insert is received in the table frame. A work piece can be supported by the drill press table insert and the drill press spindle assembly can be operable to engage the work piece supported by the drill press table insert. Different table inserts can be interchangeable to provide different functionalities for the drill press as desired without having to replace the entire drill press table on the column.

A power tool includes a control for the motor of the power tool that senses an operating characteristic of the motor and controls the operation of the power tool based on the sensed characteristic. The sensed characteristic includes variations in reluctance of the motor. A controller may sense changes on load on the motor as a result of interaction between a working element such as a saw blade or drill bit and the work piece. The controlled operation may include variation in speed or torque or both, or may include stopping the motor. Emergency conditions may be sensed by changes in reluctance.

This machine tool is provided with: a partition that partitions a machining chamber and a tool storage chamber and that has an opening; a shutter; and a receiving member that is formed so as to receive cutting fluid. The partition includes a sidewall member that extends in the vertical direction and an inclined wall member inclined in such a manner so as to become lower from the sidewall member to the interior of the machining chamber. At least part of the opening is formed in the inclined wall member. The receiving member is positioned beneath the shutter, and in such a position so as to receive cutting fluid that drops down along the sidewall member when the shutter is opened.

The invention relates to a device for attachment to a metalworking device or a chip conveyor designed to capture fluid used in the machining process so that the fluid can be reused. More specifically, the cutting fluid catch mechanism provides a slanted surface such that the metal swarf, the pieces of metal or debris resulting from machining operations slides down the slanted surface but the cutting fluid is captured by the catch mechanism and directed to a cutting fluid reservoir where it can be filtered and reused.
